La Danse #2 is the second digital compilation of a series from international talented producers we support and love. Following our heart and taste for mixed influences and creed, La Danse is a tribute
to the dance floor mixing together organic works in order to bring new energy in clubs. We hope this second volume will bring back our dance floors to life. 

From la Danza de los Voladores during Mesoamerican rituals to the Maenads in Greek mythology, dancing is part of social life from the outset, and will always be.Because dancing frees body and mind - because club culture is essential - this compilation series preaches for an uninhibited and uncontrolled dance. There is only one motto « dance or get lost! »

I also release my music on labels like: NEIN, Mosaique, Fill-Lex, Les Yeux Orange, Syberian. 
 
HRDF: How did you discover this track ?
DM: I discovered this track like more than 10 years ago and forgot about it. And not so long time ago I found my old hard-drive and felt in some nostalgic feelings about music that I found there.
 
HRDF: Why did you choose to edit it ?
DM: I searched of some vocals for my track and tried to work with this beautiful vocal. And to be honest I wanted to do something in style of HARD FIST because it’s very inspiring music that you release.

Artist: @omarjoesoef-1
Release date: June 10th
Vinyl + Digital
Artwork: Léo Marsal

Morning World track is a reading of a Java old story about a mythical creature called Gatot Kaca. Searching old records in his storage room, Omar accidentally found somewhat of a scripture in ancient Javanese. The meaning of it came from his family. The script was released by Kraton, an ancient Javanese royal palace, and was passed down on Omar's mother's side of the family. The story is a simplified folklore called Wayang, a traditional form of puppet theatre play from Java island.

Omar Joesoef - Morning World

Exclusive: Omar Joesoef - Chants Of Gorontalo (Cosmo Vitelli What Was The Question Again Remix)

Hard Fist's next release explores the chants and rituals of one of the world's last tribes living or holding on to ancient occurrences. Therefore Indonasian artist Omar Joesoef digged deep into the archieves of abandoned radio station on Java island to come up with samples of old recordings of the tribe. Unsurprisingly Joesoef names the EP's opening track, Chants of Gorontalo, after an Indonesian province on Sulawesi island, where the Dayak tribes lives and practices the ancient and traditional way of living. Aside from three more orginal tracks, namely Morning World, It's the Heat in the Room and a digital bonus track, Joesoef's Rituals of Gorontalo EP is provided with two remixes. While Jonathan Kusumu reworks It's the Heat in the Room, French hyper-spacey artist Cosmo Vitelli takes on remix duties for Chants of Gorontalo and turns it into a futuristic out of space tune that's implementation of racecar sounds, space-filling soundscapes whirl around and stir up elements from the original. However, it's the pads and synth-sequences in the second part of the eight minute lasting journey that serves as a counterpart to the spiritual didgeridoo-like sounds that accompany the listener from start to the very end.

Omar Joesoef's Rituals of Gorontalo will be released on Hard Fist June 10th, 2021.

Born and raised in Indonesia, Omar Joesoef built this EP with samples of old records of ethnic music that he has found in an abandoned radio station on Java island. Named Lokananta, it is one of the first radios setting up in Indonesia in the 50’s. The recordings in Omar’s EP come from rituals and meditative chants of one of the last tribes still living in the ancient way, completely disconnected from the modern world.

Chants of Gorontalo opening track is named after a province of Indonesia located on the island of Sulawesi. Over there lives the Dayak tribe who still follows its ancient traditional way of life. They practice rituals to communicate with their ancestors using chants and meditation. This first track is about a prayer for harvests, fertility and prosperity. Dayak is a very intimate and enclosed tribe, keeping themselves away from modern society. These recordings of them singing found by Omar in Lokananta radio station are very rare and special. Lokananta is also the first record label of Indonesia, releasing recordings of wayang performances, speeches, Javanese orchestra. It is a great source of inspiration for Joesoef’s work.

Morning World track is a reading of a Java old story about a mythical creature called Gatot Kaca. Searching old records in his storage room, Omar accidentally found somewhat of a scripture in ancient Javanese. The meaning of it came from his family. The script was released by Kraton, an ancient Javanese royal palace, and was passed down on Omar's mother's side of the family. The story is a simplified folklore called Wayang, a traditional form of puppet theatre play from Java island. Omar found a Latin version of the script and asked his friend Sascha Alatas to read it in the way he used to hear it at Wayang plays when he was a kid. To complete the track, Omar made some minor manipulations of the voice and added a few samples of Lokananta records such as bird sounds and environmental soundscape. 

“It’s the Heat in the Room” track conveys a strong and powerful energy with consistent heavy bassline, snappy snare, groovy percussion ensemble and vocal samples of the Dayak tribe. The song emulates the adrenalin rush one might feel in the middle of a night hunt. Some of the sounds chosen reminds of the echoes that may be experienced in a dark cave when a single stone breaks on the floor.

Ein neuer Synth von Fullbucket, der Tricent MK III. 
Um es gleich vorweg zu nehmen: fantastisch! Björn hat mal wieder einen super Synth erstellt, Exzellent!

Der Synth
- simuliert einen den Korg Trident MK III mit allen Spielerein und weiteren Extras die von Björn aufgenommen worden sind.
- die Bedienung ist intuitiv,
- die Filter sind ... sauschnell :)
- soundmässig ist der Synth grossartig, sehr saubere Klänge die damit erstellt werden können
- der CPU-Hunger ist minimal, gerade zu lächerlich ... Hut ab vor der tollen Programmierung!

Was eigentlich mit einem Demotrack für ein paar Sounds begann ist doch zu einem vollen Musikstück geworden. Die Presets selber sind von mir von Grund auf erstellt worden. Ich gebe sie Björn zur exklusiven Veröffentlichung auf seiner Webpage https://www.fullbucket.de/music/tricent.html

Viel Spass beim reinhören und Kommentare sind wie immer herzlich willkommen:)

Here’s a mantra, a slogan, channelled from the inner human being longing for the covid crisis to end. 
And yet this is a response to a much wider issue. A pandemic everyone is dealing with since years: Nationalist tendencies, the alienation that stems from it and the reality of borders. 
But, ‘die Welt ist ein Miteinander’, the world is togetherness. 
We’re on one planet, all facing the same global problems and challenges. All sharing the same course through the cosmos. No way to escape. Tune in, abandon your ego and start chanting

“Chasing Rabbits” on Keller is Oilst & Ben Jarli's debut EP. They have developed their own unique style of eclectic downtempo, blending inspiration from a broad and colourful spectrum of genres. The three original tracks featured on this EP share a distinctive analogue sound design, and a dark, yet warm timbre.

The EP also includes two remixes of the title track. The first is an epic contribution from the up-and-coming live act O/Y, where the original’s signature acid bassline evolves into immersive ambient soundscapes. The second is a serotonin fuelled festival anthem by Molto, a promising offspring of the Keller stable.

Eyes fixated on the screen, scrolling mindlessly for hours and hours. Nothing changes, everything stays the same. Close the app but suddenly you're on it again, checking who's looked at your story, wondering who's caught your latest post. The real world no longer matters, it's your online persona that counts for everything. Be liked. Be loved. Be followed. 

To mark their 10th release, our Lyon-based friends Hard Fist have called on the skills of Belgian producer and performer Strapontin for The End Of Logic, a package of three original tracks backed up by two remixes from Calypso co-founder Thomass Jackson and Roam alumni Damon Jee. In addition to the music, which sonically spans stomping drums and driving techno-disco grooves, the EP is accompanied by a specially designed video game that pokes fun at social media, putting you in control of a role playing game in Strapontin's hometown of Brussels.
